Dog Finds Friend in UPS Driver

At a shelter in Buffalo, New York, a dog named Ernie was unaware his life was about to change for the better. Ernie was out on a walk with his handler from the shelter when he saw a UPS truck parked nearby, where its driver, Jason Coronado, was taking a 10-minute break. Ernie hopped up into his truck and acted as if he and Coronado had known each other forever. After a few minutes, Ernie’s walker tried to pull him out of the truck to continue on their walk, but she said it “took some doing” because Ernie didn’t want to leave his new best friend.

A few months went by, and Ernie was still yet to be adopted. Coronado learned that Ernie was still in the shelter, and he knew that it was meant to be. After asking his family about Ernie, he decided to give him the forever home he knew Ernie deserved. Coronado said that after Ernie found his forever home, he became such a “joyful” dog.
